Hey guys, I've been out of the tech scene for a while so I've lost touch with the latest developments.

I need to upgrade my computer after using my watercooled rig for 3 years which has served me well. I'll be building another watercooled rig as you just can't beat the noise and cooling efficiency. My budget is £1500+

My current specs are:
  • Coolermaster RC-1100 Case
  • Intel Core i7 960
  • Asus Rampage III Extreme
  • Corsair Vengeance 12GB (3 x 4GB)
  • Samsung Spin Point F4 2TB x2 (in RAID)

I'll be using my GTX 280 from my current rig for graphics and the watercooling will be a tripple rad mounted to the top of the case with a CPU loop.

How does the above look? I'm looking for recommendations on a powerful but energy efficient PSU and a decent solid state HDD for the OS.

Thanks for your help guys.
 
Replace the with a sandy bridge cpu, motherboard and dual channel ram.
